    Chris Paul has been dominant and clutch as can be. When he's in the zone, he's unstoppable. He's the missing piece that Houston had been looking for. No sweep here. Not even close!!!! Very competitive series!!!

    I think Ckeveland has just as much, if not better chance of sweeping. Same setup with 3 away games 1st. If they win game 1, the pressure on the Celtics in game 2 will be huge. C's young and inexperienced too.

    Game 1: +105
    Game 2: +140
    Game 3: -340
    Game 4: -420

    That's how I see the odds being. If the Warriors won 3 games in a row, then the odds for Game 4 would be huge. At those numbers, the parlay value is: +688.

    So if you got something at +800, I think it's a good value.

    Right now 5Dimes has it at +950.

    ....but check this out:

    They also have Golden State -3 games at +787. That means if they sweep, I get +787. If they win 4-1, I would get my money back. A decent insurance policy.

    This is the perfect setup for a sweep. Gsw wins game 1. Houston feels the pressure of absolutely winning game 2 at home and they are known to choke. Gsw winning 2 straight home is not hard for them. Just like Cleveland sweeping the raptors. Once they stole game 1, the raptors folded.

    No way Warriors is sweeping Houston. It might go the other way round.

    Ask yourself this question:

    Is this thread about SPORTS or about VALUE?

    More likely to go 7 games than a sweep. Houston is good they just are not clutch

    I can see Houston taking two games in this series. They waited all year for this. Game 1 is the key, I think come out like gangbusters and steal the opener.

    Best bet is warriors in 6. Both teams can be monsters, they just won't be monsters the same time. Houston's best is not as potent as Golden State warriors best. Warriors offense is unstoppable

    What are the odds of flipping 4 heads in a row? To answer, you don't just add +100 4 times. That would equal +400.

    The actual odds of hitting heads 4 times in a row is 1 in 16. If the book was only paying +400 for that they'd be getting rich (which they are!)
    Is this a serious post?

    Guys, you really don't have to tell me it's not likely a +950 wager is going to win.

    If anyone wants my 437 points, come and get them. You only have to put up 4151.

    x-factor will be capela. center match up will decide this series. and houston is favoured there by a big margin. houston takes game 1 for sure.

    series price depends on capelas performance. but i think he will get it done.

    whoever thinks houston gets swept is out of their fcking mind

    Already told you GSW makes centers worthless pal? Capela can not guard the perimeter- GSW got 3 SNIPERS - READY to shoot
